DANIEL

NOW AND THEN I CHANCE TO SEE A FRIEND OF YEARS GONE PAST
"DO YOU REMEMBER DANIEL?" ONE OF US WILL ASK
THEY PLACED HIM NEAR A MEADOW, THAT WAS YEARS AGO
STILL I THINK ABOUT HIM AND HOW HE LOVED HER SO
(INSTRUMENTAL)
HE MET HER AT A DANCE HALL, DIDN'T THINK HE HAD A CHANCE
BUT HE HUNG AROUND FOR HOURS JUST TO ASK HER FOR THAT DANCE
THOSE WERE SWEET MEM'RIES, AS FRESH AS HONEYCOMB
THERE'S SADNESS NOW UPON HIS LIPS AS HE CALLS HER NAME OUT LOW
DANIEL, DON'T GRIEVE NOW
FOR THOSE MEM'RIES FAR AWAY
YOU'VE FOUND YOUR FINAL RESTING PLACE
FIND SOME PEACE TODAY
BUT EVEN NOW I HEAR A SOUND
COME SOFTLY FROM THE GLEN
A SONG OF LOVE YOU HAD FOR HER
AND WHAT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN
BRIDGE
ONE NIGHT SHE HAD A FEVER, BUT HELP CAME TOO LATE
HE TOOK HER HAND TO HIS FACE AND SOFTLY CALLED HER NAME
NO ONE KNOWS THE FUTURE OR THE BITTER WINDS THAT BLOW
YOUR ONLY LOVE SLIPPED AWAY, NEVERMORE TO HOLD HER CLOSE
DANIEL, DON'T GRIEVE NOW
FOR THOSE MEM'RIES FAR AWAY
YOU'VE FOUND YOUR FINAL RESTING PLACE
FIND SOME PEACE TODAY
BUT EVEN NOW I HEAR A SOUND
COME SOFTLY FROM THE GLEN
A SONG OF LOVE YOU HAD FOR HER
AND WHAT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN
FOR THOSE MEM'RIES FAR AWAY
FIND SOME PEACE TODAY
BUT EVEN NOW I HEAR A SOUND
COME SOFTLY FROM THE GLEN
A SONG OF LOVE YOU HAD FOR HER
AND WHAT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN
